We live in a popular neighborhood, closed to the train station. Little café, small groceries shops.
Marseille is a great city, very lively, very cosmopolitan, and not (yet) very touristic.

Ideal to discover the city on foot (or cycle: there is a station of bike to rent nearby), and also the region (the Calanques, the Blue Coast, Sainte Victoire, etc.)

We will leave you a list of all our favourite places in Marseille, those that are not necessarily easy to find.

Additional information

An old apartment in the heart of Marseille (3mn walk from the train station), beautiful view of the city and the hills on both sides, very bright and sunny. Typical marseillese apartement with floor tiles. A living room which faces south-east with corner kitchen and sitting area. Two bedroom (one with a double bed and another one with a single bed and lots of playmobil !. The child's room is very large and an extra mattress can be put in. A mezzanine with an extra double bed. A large studio/office. The bed in the parents' bedroom is a japanese futon bed (so you must be accustomed to quite a stiff bed). If this may be a problem we can arrange another bed for you in the studio.
No dishwasher, no micro wave, no TV (but a DVD player)... It is an old appartement, a little messy sometimes (we still have a lot to fix, one room and a corridor are not finished) but cosy anyway. And very quiet.
A good library for readers (even some novels in english). Music, many dvd. And lots of toys (lego, playmobil) and children's books.
Warning: 5 floors without a lift!
